Lactylation in cancer: Mechanisms in tumour biology and therapeutic potentials.
Review in Clinical and translational medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 58 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Lactylation, a recently identified form of protein post-translational modification (PTM), has emerged as a key player in cancer biology. The Warburg effect, a hallmark of tumour metabolism, underscores the significance of lactylation in cancer progression. By regulating gene transcription and protein function, lactylation facilitates metabolic reprogramming, enabling tumours to adapt to nutrient limitations and sustain rapid growth. Over the past decade, extensive research has revealed the intricate regulatory network underlying lactylation in tumours. Large-scale sequencing and machine learning have confirmed the widespread occurrence of lactylation sites across the tumour proteome. Targeting lactylation enzymes or metabolic pathways has demonstrated promising anti-tumour effects, highlighting the therapeutic potential of this modification. This review comprehensively explores the mechanisms of lactylation in cancer cells and the tumour microenvironment. We expound on the application of advanced omics technologies for target identification and data modelling within the lactylation field. Additionally, we summarise existing anti-lactylation drugs and discuss their clinical implications. By providing a comprehensive overview of recent advancements, this review aims to stimulate innovative research and accelerate the translation of lactylation-based therapies into clinical practice. KEY POINTS: Lactylation significantly influences tumour metabolism and gene regulation, contributing to cancer progression. Advanced sequencing and machine learning reveal widespread lactylation sites in tumours. Targeting lactylation enzymes shows promise in enhancing anti-tumour drug efficacy and overcoming chemotherapy resistance. This review outlines the clinical implications and future research directions of lactylation in oncology.
